Terms of Service

Last updated: July 17, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and the independent individual developer who operates the Doom Walk mobile application and related website (together, the “App” or the “Service”). In these Terms, the developer is referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our,” and the person using the App is referred to as “you.”

By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Who provides the Service

The App is created and operated by an independent individual developer, not by a company. References to “we” or “us” throughout these Terms refer to that individual. You can reach us at doom-walk@outlook.com.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The App is intended for personal, non-commercial use.

3. What the App does

Doom Walk is a screen-time and motivation tool. It lets you select apps to “guard” using Apple’s Screen Time framework, measures your walking with Apple’s Motion & Fitness data, and converts your steps into time-based “credit” that you can spend to temporarily unlock the guarded apps. Guarding, unlocking, streaks, quiet hours, and the emergency unlock are features intended to help you manage your own use of your device.

4. Not medical, health, or professional advice

The App is provided for general wellbeing and motivation purposes only. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, health, psychological, fitness, or other professional advice. Step counts, distance, calorie-related figures, and other metrics are estimates produced by your device’s sensors and may be inaccurate. Do not rely on the App for any health or safety decision, and consult a qualified professional before beginning any new physical activity. Always pay attention to your surroundings — never walk while distracted, and do not use the App in a way that could put you or others at risk.

5. App blocking and your responsibility

The App uses Apple’s Screen Time (Family Controls) frameworks to shield the apps you select. These features depend on iOS and on the permissions you grant, and may not block every app or every path to content in all circumstances. You are responsible for choosing which apps to guard and for your own decisions about unlocking them. Do not rely on the App to prevent access to content in situations where restricted access is critical.

6. Your content and inputs

You retain ownership of any settings, selections, and preferences you enter. Because your activity and history are stored on your device, you are responsible for that data as you would any other data on your phone. Deleting the App removes that data from your device.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for any unlawful, harmful, or deceptive purpose;
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, interfere with, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the App or its systems;
  • Circumvent, disable, or tamper with security, subscription, or usage-limiting features; or
  • Use the App to build a competing product, or to train or improve any machine-learning model.

8. Purchases and billing

Certain features require a paid purchase (“Premium”). Premium is a one-time purchase that unlocks the feature for the app on your Apple Account — it is not a subscription and does not auto-renew. Purchases are sold and processed through the Apple App Store and are subject to Apple’s applicable terms. By buying Premium you agree to the following:

  • One-time payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. There is no recurring billing and nothing to cancel. We do not receive or store your payment-card details.
  • Restore. You can restore your purchase on any device signed in to the same Apple Account.
  • Pricing. Prices may vary by region and may change; any change applies only to future purchases.
  • Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, and refunds (if any) are governed by Apple’s policies. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.

We use a third-party provider (RevenueCat) to verify your Premium entitlement on your device.

9. Changes to the App

We may add, modify, or remove features at any time, and may set or change limits on use. We may also discontinue the App. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

10. Intellectual property

The App, including its design, code, branding, and content, is owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

11. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services to function, including Apple’s platform and frameworks, the Apple App Store, and subscription management (RevenueCat). Your use of the App may also be subject to those providers’ terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, and their availability is outside our control.

12. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT IT WILL BLOCK ANY PARTICULAR APP OR CONTENT, OR THAT ANY METRIC WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR USD 50. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

15. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or use the App in a way that could harm us, other users, or third parties. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in Sweden will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except where applicable consumer-protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your place of residence.
